Tian Sha, presumed dead by the Water Evil Demon Ape, reveals himself to be alive using his Space Transfer technique. He launches a surprise attack, but the ape defends itself with its Water Source Shield, which is powered by a fragment of Water Origin. Tian Sha then secretly contacts Lin Dong, asking him to search for a weakness in the ape's defense.

Within the secret realm, ensnared by ancient seals, the fierce battle between Tian Sha and the Water Evil Demon Ape intensified.

Tian Sha's eyes held a chilling frostiness as his hands began a slow, deliberate dance in the air, weaving intricate runes—the clandestine symbols of the Space Transfer Technique.

As incantations were uttered, the very fabric of space warped, and rifts of spatial energy flickered around him. Each rupture and collapse unleashed a formidable wave of power, striking directly at the Water Source Shield of the Water Evil Demon Ape.

The Water Source Shield, an intrinsic divine gift of the Water Evil Demon Ape, possessed the formidable capacity to draw in ambient moisture, coalescing it into a fluid, transparent barrier. This shield was adept at repelling physical assaults and neutralizing the majority of psionic assaults.

Under the formidable protection of this shield, the Water Evil Demon Ape appeared utterly unfazed, projecting an aura of invincibility as if all incoming attacks were rendered impotent.

Yet, amidst this intense duel, the ape remained oblivious to Tian Sha's covert communication with Lin Dong.

Tian Sha's objective was clear: to solicit a decisive, stealthy strike from Lin Dong.

Concurrently, Lin Dong was engaged in the silent execution of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique.

His form gradually melded with the earth, leaving behind only a subtle trace of golden light. Deep beneath the surface, Lin Dong activated his Eye of Insight.

The Eye of Insight served as a profound secret skill, granting the ability to pierce through superficial appearances and perceive the true essence of all things.

Through the augmented vision granted by these eyes, Lin Dong meticulously scrutinized the Water Evil Demon Ape's every action and the subtle fluctuations within its Water Source Shield.

Minutes ticked by, and Tian Sha's onslaught continued unabated. Each deployment of the Space Transfer Technique exacted a significant toll on his energy reserves, but it progressively eroded the Water Evil Demon Ape's composure and defensive fortitude.

Finally, after enduring hundreds of relentless assaults, a minuscule fissure began to spiderweb across a segment of the Water Source Shield, a consequence of the unyielding energy bombardment—revealing its inaugural vulnerability.

Lin Dong, attuned to this development from beneath the ground, silently assessed that the opportune moment had arrived.

With swift precision, he marshaled his entire Qi Force, channeling the formidable power of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique. He then erupted from the earth like a concealed dragon ascending, poised to exploit the Water Evil Demon Ape's exposed weakness.

As he breached the surface, Lin Dong manifested a resplendent longsword within his grasp, the culmination of years dedicated to mastering the "Sword One" technique. The instant the blade emerged, its edge gleamed with lethal sharpness.

The Water Evil Demon Ape was undeniably taken by surprise by Lin Dong's sudden assault; it had vastly underestimated the resolve and might of this martial artist from the Second Layer Heaven of the Heavenly Boundary.

The very instant Lin Dong's sword tip made contact with the Water Source Shield, an unparalleled, piercing aura erupted. This was the concentrated essence of all of Lin Dong's internal power.

“Crack~~” A sharp, shattering sound reverberated through the secret realm.

The Water Source Shield was, in fact, breached by that single, decisive blow.

Disbelief flickered across the Water Evil Demon Ape's eyes. Its immense frame quivered slightly, and it uttered in astonishment, “Impossible, this cannot be… How could a mere Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven martial artist shatter my Water Source Shield, a defense honed through countless battles?”

This exclamation not only cast doubt upon the Water Evil Demon Ape's own prowess but also profoundly shaken its perception of Lin Dong's latent potential.

Previously, it had dismissed Lin Dong, and even being aware of his hidden presence and capacity for a surprise strike, it had remained unconcerned.

It had not deemed it necessary to prepare an adequate defense against him.

Its assumption was that, after all, Lin Dong was merely a Second Layer Heaven martial artist; how formidable could his attack truly be?

It had confidently believed that not only its Water Source Shield, but even its physical body, would be impenetrable to his assault.

However, the current reality starkly defied all its prior expectations.

The Water Source Shield had, against all odds, been shattered by him.

“Roar~~”

Despite Lin Dong's successful breach of the Water Source Shield, the Water Evil Demon Ape was clearly not conceding defeat so readily.

It unleashed a guttural roar, and instantly, the surrounding water vapor began to churn and writhe.

In the dim illumination filtering through the dense foliage, the Water Evil Demon Ape found itself enveloped by a tempestuous flow of water, its eyes radiating an eerie, phosphorescent blue light.

This fearsome creature possessed not only immense physical strength but also an extraordinary aptitude for manipulating hydrokinetic energies, rendering each dispersed droplet as sharp and deadly as a thrown blade.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~” At this precise moment, under its masterful control, all the surrounding water droplets transmuted into projectiles of destruction, hurtling towards both Lin Dong and Tian Sha.

Nevertheless, every single one of its launched attacks missed its intended targets.

Tian Sha, by virtue of the Space Transfer Technique, remained utterly untouchable by the Water Evil Demon Ape's onslaught.

As for Lin Dong, employing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, he moved with an elusive grace. Regardless of the direction or intensity of the Water Evil Demon Ape's barrage, it could only strike empty air.

Following a nimble maneuver, Lin Dong seized the opportune moment, channeling his full might into a punch that connected with the Water Evil Demon Ape's supposedly impenetrable body.

With a thunderous impact, the Water Evil Demon Ape found its physical defenses breached by Lin Dong's strike.

“How is this conceivable? Your power… it’s comparable to a Fourth Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist!” the Water Evil Demon Ape exclaimed in disbelief. It had never anticipated that Lin Dong, merely a Second Layer Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, could possess such formidable strength.

At this critical juncture, Lin Dong's voice resonated. His Eye of Insight had already pinpointed the Water Evil Demon Ape's crucial vulnerability.

“This is it! Let’s strike its weak point together!”

Lin Dong's words cut through the surrounding chaos with an irrefutable certainty.

His gaze seemed to pierce the veil of existence, having long perceived the anomalies within the Water Evil Demon Ape's movements.

“Its vulnerable spot is on the right side of its chest!” Lin Dong's declaration sliced through the night like a bolt of lightning, stunning Tian Sha who stood beside him.

Typically, for both human and monstrous beings, the heart, the seat of life energy, resides on the left side of the chest, marking the vital spot.

However, this particular Water Evil Demon Ape proved to be an anomaly, its heart situated on the right, deviating from the norm of ordinary creatures.

Such a hidden secret would be nearly impossible to uncover without someone possessing Lin Dong's exceptional perceptive abilities.

Upon hearing Lin Dong's revelation, the Water Evil Demon Ape's eyes flickered with a mixture of astonishment and dread.

“Just what kind of monstrous being are you?” The Water Evil Demon Ape finally betrayed its terror of Lin Dong.

Initially, it had been confident that its inherent might and unique abilities would allow it to overwhelm these two intruders, particularly the seemingly unremarkable Second Layer Heaven Martial Artist confronting it.

Yet now, not only had its most prized Water Source Shield been shattered, but its deepest, most concealed weakness had also been exposed by its adversary with a single utterance.

In a surge of panic, the Water Evil Demon Ape hastily adjusted its stance, its massive arms instinctively shielding the right side of its chest, the location of its life essence, its Life Fire.

Its eyes blazed with indignation and a sense of injustice, but an overpowering fear of the unknown gripped it.

An opponent capable of seeing through all its defenses and striking at its core was an unprecedented existence for it.

The atmosphere of the battle turned incredibly intense in an instant. Lin Dong and Tian Sha unleashed a barrage of attacks like falling rain, while the Water Evil Demon Ape desperately defended its sole bastion of life in this dire, life-or-death struggle.

“Now!” Lin Dong perceived the opening. When Tian Sha struck, it had inadvertently exposed its vulnerability.

And in that moment, Lin Dong unleashed the Sword of Wuji, transforming it into a searing streak of light that plunged directly towards its critical weak point.
